This Ain't No Mouse Music!

Chris Strachwitz is a detective of deep American music, music thats the antithesis of the corporate mouse music dominating pop culture. Since 1960, he has been the guiding force behind legendary Arhoolie Records, bringing Cajun music out of Louisiana, Tex Mex out of Texas, blues out of the country and into the living rooms of Middle America. Born a German count, Strachwitz fled his homeland at sixteen, after WWII, to the USA where he discovered, and shared, a musical landscape that most Americans missed. American music has never been the same.
